Password with @ saving incorrectly

I have a password with an @. When I save with password in Firefox, it replaces the "@" with "%40". I have tried deleting the saved password, going into the password menu and manually saving the correct password. However, "%40" keeps reappearing.

Does this also happen if you create a new login or edit an existing login?


Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click "Refresh Firefox" in the Troubleshoot Mode start window
